Davenport Aviation Receives Presidential Award for Exports

Posted: Fri, Jun 30, 2017

We are so proud to announce that Davenport Aviation recently won the President's "E" Award for exports. It is such an honor to receive this prestigious accolade for our business. On May 22, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross, presented us with the award at an awards ceremony held in Washington, D.C.

What is the President's "E" Award?

President Kennedy first established the award in 1961 to recognize those organizations that have made significant contributions to the expansion of U.S. exports. The award has been given every year since and recognizes the top performers in this area. Although it is not a requirement for receiving the award, it often goes to small or medium-sized businesses, rather than larger corporations, to place further emphasis on American production. Winners of the award display a banner and certificate of commendation celebrate and be recognized for such an achievement.

Why are American Exports So Important?

In order for the United States to stay relevant in the global economy, it is crucial that our nation continues to produce high-quality goods and services that customers from other countries can't obtain anywhere else. Exporting our products also enables us to share our ingenuity with other countries so that they might be able to improve their own economic situations, thus strengthening the economy of the world as a whole. The global economy works best when all countries are able to contribute to it, so it is important that we continue to do our part to make that happen.

Davenport Aviation's Role

Here at Davenport Aviation, we work hard to produce the highest possible quality of aviation products, ranging from aircraft parts to logistics support. What surprises many people to learn is that nearly 100 percent of our sales go to international clients. Here in the United States, we are lucky to be able to produce some of the best aviation products in the world, and we want to be able to share those products with everyone.

Although we sell the vast majority of our products overseas, that doesn't mean that we don't produce benefits here at home as well. Throughout the production and sales process, we are able to create countless jobs for American citizens as we continue to help those in other countries as well. Our company has been growing rapidly in recent years, and we expect that trend to continue, which will create even more opportunities here. After receiving this award, Davenport Aviation is poised to continue to be successful in the aviation industry and the export market well into the foreseeable future.
